In 2007, Marlon Anderson parlayed a .319 average in just 60 at-bats into a two year deal worth $2.2 million dollars. Not bad for a bench player who had hit .231 in the first half of that season before being cut by the Dodgers and signed from the scrap heap by Omar Minaya. Last season, […]

Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times is reporting that former Mets catcher Mike DiFelice, has agreed to manage the Kingsport Mets for the 2009 season. That wraps things up as far as managers go for the entire Mets organization.

It looks like the Mets will not be going to any arbitration hearings after all. The lone hold-out Pedro Feliciano, has just agreed to a contract with the New York Mets, thus avoiding arbitration which was scheduled for next week. Feliciano signs a one-year deal for $1,612,500 which is a significant raise from last seasons […]

I came across an interesting article by Rich Lederer of Baseball Analysts. The article focuses on Jon Heyman mostly, and questions how he may have gotten the early jump on recent trades and signings involving Scott Boras clients. Jon Heyman has done it again.

However, all of them signed minor league deals and none are guaranteed to make the team. At a recent press conference, Minaya said he would still focus on the bullpen, specifically a left-handed reliever. He may have found […]

MLB.com is reporting that the Mets top prospect Fernando Martinez is suffering from a sore elbow and is on his way to New York for a checkup. Martinez said of the injury: “I felt my elbow tighten up the day before yesterday,” Martinez told MLB.com. “It was a little swollen. It’s better. I feel I […]

As the long Hot Stove season winds down and the winter transforms into spring, the Mets are seemingly finished with their off season makeover. The Mets first priority was to overhaul a bullpen that was overworked, ineffective, and had become the object of most Mets fans ire. Gone are Aaron Heilman and his lefthanded counterpart […]

The Manny to the Mets pipe dream is finally over. It had nightmare written all over it. GM Omar MInaya officially declared this last Tuesday. Let him go back to the Dodgers, hat in hand (for 25 mill, who wouldn’t grovel at that?). Whether Omar was parroting what the Wilpons have decreed is irrelevant. Ramirez […]

Lost in the excitement of the Oliver Perez signing, is a very underreported yet very interesting fact. Most of us agree that the Mets overpaid to get the Oliver Perez deal done. It was a move I certainly won’t argue with. But, now that the dust has settled, it’s become apparent to me that we […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are deep in debt. While this offseason they are scrambling to find a second baseman, third baseman, and a closer, they don’t have the ability to spend as much money as they want. After spending over one billion dollars on players alone from 2013-2016, their exemption from MLB debt rules expires […]

Good morning everyone and I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend. I’ve had my fill of turkey, pumpkin pie and football, and I’m ready to get back to talking and writing about our New York Mets. For most Met fans, there’s only one thing on everyone’s mind right now and it continues to […]

Koji Uehara Position: Reliever Bats: Right – Throws: Right Born: April 3, 1975 (Age 41) As the New York Mets continue to scour the market for late inning relievers, one potential target is a right-handed arm that has experience in both closing and setting-up, in 41-year-old Koji Uehara. The eight-year veteran began his major league […]
